Drummer and horns wanted for Ska covers band North Wales/North West

Placidcasual79

Hello! 

We're a ska covers band in North Wales - Singer, Keys, guitar and bass. We have a saxophone player but would like more horns....if you want to do some BV's or percussion too then thats great....

We need a drummer...... a drummer who can play ska

We're a covers band exclusively - and play ska exclusively..... The Specials, Madness, Bad Manners plus some original Jamaican records from the late 50's early 60's - Prince Buster, the Skatalites etc......

We were an established gigging band pre covid and disbanded. Now we're trying to put it  back together - the plan is to practice once or twice a month and gig once or twice a month - it's fun and enjoyable 

Thank you 
James

Tis Skariad - or former Skaraid. We lost a few members in COVID and are trying to put something back together. 

Graigaid was a great gig wasn't it? We played a few times (I think my profile pic is from the last one we did - and maybe the last one they did?)

I remember your band were great - you have a brilliant female singer ? If you don't mind me saying I remember your brilliant guitar playing.... and what I specifically remember thinking was this guy has got his tone dialled in beautifully... it moved from warm to biting depending on what you where playing. 

Thanks for saying hello. I am James - the guitar player in Skariad. 

Are you still playing @colourofsound ;?

Flipping heck, just realised I never replied to this. Is 6 months too late? 

I'm actually the drummer in that band; our guitarist Alan has a lovely tone out of that late 60's 335 and a Mesa Boogie. And the singer is my Mum! haha. My Dad plays the bass. Its a family band! 

We stopped for about 6 months as the guitarist had some family issues; but we've sort of started up again - although I'm not keen to gig drums beyond doing festival gigs. Hauling a kit into a tiny pub for £50 and no audience is miserable.
